Not Always Hungry

Aug 05, 2014

Mentally it seems very strange to not be hungry - so different from just a few months ago.  Really, I love food, I used to dream about food, I love to cook, family revolved around food.  

This non-hunger thing is happening several times a week - and it still surprises me. Then it dawns on me that this is my "new normal" - or at least a positive stage on this long journey. And it reminds me there is so much more to life than eating.  Of course food tastes good!  But it's also a drug you cannot get enough of, which is a long decline back to a food-focused life.

I'm liking this new me, I walk taller (and farther), every little thing is not a chore (nor as sweaty) and I'm happier when I look in the mirror. There are still 3 months to go in pre-op preparation and insurance approval; I'm planning to maximize every day along the way.
